A seemingly ordinary woman's life is extraordinary

The so-called scandal is nothing more than boring gossip in the realm of morality - Oscar Wilde.


Daoist Liang Wendao said that after reaching a certain age, people remember the past, especially childhood and adolescence, very clearly. Even small details. But I don't remember much about the present. This may be a physiological phenomenon. It may also be a criterion for inferring a person's age. Some writers who swore not to write memoirs wrote them later in life.
I like this kind of literary film to an average level. At first I just saw the big idol Keanu Reeves and the goddess Monica Bellucci inside. And Queen S Blake Lively, I just watched the star I like.

The story takes place in Connecticut, USA. It's not far from upstate New York. To put it simply, this story is a story of a woman who has a midlife crisis at the age of 50, recalls and examines her past, and makes a choice in the face of her current life. The story has always been the main line of Pippa Lee's heart. Interpreting between the present and the memory from her own perspective. The story is constantly interspersed with the present and the past.

Pippa Lee is not right. She was originally called Pippa Sarkissian. She was born in a well-off family in the United States. Her father is a priest and her father is a full-time housewife. A group of children at home. As a child, she was a living Barbie with her blonde hair and blue eyes. She exists like a big star in her mother's heart. Seemingly happy growing up, her mother actually has hyperthyroidism and is always full of energy for something. But then the hyperthyroidism turned into hypothyroidism and became a short circuit machine. Only the children and husband take stimulants to keep the same as before. Bad for Pippa growing up. Like she said her emotions affect my life.

Then she left to go to her aunt's house. Pippa and Aunt Trish are both rebellious teenage girls so they both get along well. Of course later Pippa found out that Aunt Trish was lesbian. But it didn't matter she entered the life of an aunt for two weeks. Hang out with Auntie's girlfriend Kat. KAT is a freelance writer and a young literary woman who likes photography and the like. But maybe Aunt Trish didn't even know she liked to play S&M games. Not only did Pippa not refuse, but on the contrary, he liked playing with KAT even more. Until later was discovered by my aunt. She is homeless again. Depraved adolescence seems to be a return to the wild, free-flowing and free of such things as rules and responsibility. She is free.

But getting used to freedom means getting lost. She was silent on drugs and booze with so-called 'artists' young people. She had no sense of security at all, and just continued to cycle through drugs every day until she was unconscious until her mother's death.

Herb Lee, a successful man, Pippa met him. He taught Pippa to read and guided her. At this point she found a home, as if life was back on track. The older herb is knowledgeable, cultured, and humorous, which gives her a sense of security. They quickly reached a tacit agreement to get married. When Herb was about to have a showdown with his current wife, something unexpected happened.

Gigi lee (Monica Bellucci) is a party queen with great taste in everything. One material queen. Not because of money. It's just that money makes everything seem natural. She defied Herb to the death with pippa. It was as violent as a New England storm.
This scene Roast suckling pig with an apple facing Herb. And Gigi faces Pipa! It's less of a lunch and more of a ritual. GIGI let HERB know that people like to eat meat but don't like to see animals die. If you like to steal fishy, ​​let you watch enough. For PIPPA, the face of GIGI swallowed a bullet and committed suicide, blood scattered on her body, making her live in a shadow of guilt and indelible. To transformation! Cheers to change, she concludes

Since then, pippa sarkissian has become Pippa Lee. She seems to be happy and she still lives in her inner accusation. Gigi's image is like a ghost haunting her. She works hard every day to be a graceful, modest, elegant, and well-mannered middle-class good wife, husband and filial son. After that Pippa sarkissian disappeared. She went back to the way a normal woman should go.

But by the age of 50, hormonal imbalances and other physical and psychological problems are a real challenge. Hun can look back on the past, and her husband's aging, sleepwalking, forgetfulness, and insomnia have plagued her again. And the biggest shadow is Gigi's death.
She found Chris. Chris (Keanu Reeves)
a promising job during her toughest time , but didn't make it. He just wanted to be his true self. He didn't know anyone from Utah to Connecticut, and he didn't want to know anyone. Hate parties. I went to work in a convenience store. Pippa sleepwalked to the convenience store, Chris sent Pippa home and kept her a secret, they found out that each other had their own shadow, Pippa had hope for life again. Redemption again. One day, 25 years later, her husband Herb had an affair with her best friend. Pippa was finally relieved, and she passed the guilt stick to Sandra Dulles. She was with Chris without guilt. For Pippa, this is a new beginning. The one who knows her best is her daughter. She has given us half of our lives, so we should be on vacation.

The young Pippa has his own shadow, and the middle-aged Pippa has the shadow of his mother.
We always say you don't know me, of course. Because you are the one who knows yourself. If you know a person well. This view is wrong. Because you understand him as you see him or as others see him, not him. You are not him, do you understand? Life is always private. What others see is always a bubble. You people are so lucky, that sentence itself is fart.

People often say that no matter what the truth is, people always want to see what they want to see. Some may take a step back and see more clearly. What some people see is that their lies become the truth. Some people want to keep watching. Others fled the scene in a hurry; so they wouldn't see themselves as they really were. Only you can find your way to self-redemption.

And I can see clearly now. Depp's first girlfriend, Edward's angel (Winona Ryder), the Sicilian goddess (Monica Bellucci), Forrest Gump's Jenny (Robin Wright PennJ), the incarnation of lust (Julianne Moore), and the handsome guy (Keanu Reeves) are all old.
